Tips for a Successful Exchange Trip (研学交流)

Going on an exchange trip is exciting, but it can also be challenging.    41  

Be open-minded.    42    The food may taste strange, and the customs may be different. Don’t expect everything to be the same as at home. Remember, that’s what makes exchange trips exciting!

Learn some basic phrases.    43    Even just learning “hello,” “thank you,” and “how much” in the local language can make a big difference. Your host family will be happy with your effort.

Try new things. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Whether it’s a new food, a new sport, or a new dance, give it a try. You might discover something you love.

   44    After the program ends, your host family will always be a part of your life. Many students have already kept in touch with their host families. Many students have stayed connected with their host families for years after the trip.

Keep a journal. Write down what you do and how you feel each day. This will help you remember your experience forever.    45
